Personal Protective Equipment
OSHA requires the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) to reduce employee exposure to hazards when engineering and administra-tive
controls are not feasible or effective in reducing these exposures to acceptable levels. Employers are required to determine if PPE
should be used to protect their workers. PPE is the last resort to provide employees protection from the hazards to which they are exposed.
If PPE is to be used, a PPE program should be implemented. This program should address the hazards present; the selection, maintenance,
and use of PPE; the training of employees; and monitoring of the program to ensure its ongoing effectiveness. Complete training must be
provided to employees who are required to use PPE and will include at least the following topics: when PPE is necessary; what PPE is nec-essary;
how to properly don, doff, adjust and wear PPE; the limitations of the PPE; and the proper care, maintenance, useful life and disposal
of the PPE. After the training is complete, each affected employee must demonstrate an understanding of the training and the ability to use
PPE properly before being allowed to perform work requiring the use of PPE.
When the employer has reason to believe that any affected employee who has already been trained does not have the understanding and
skill required, the employer must retrain each such employee. Circumstances where retraining is required include, but are not limited to,
situations where:
v Changes in the workplace render previous training obsolete; or
v Changes in the types of PPE to be used render previous training obsolete; or
v Inadequacies in an affected employee’s knowledge or use of assigned PPE indicate that the employee has not retained the requisite
understanding or skill.
Failure to properly use needed PPE often exposes employees to a serious hazard and, as demonstrated by the lists contained in this
brochure, results in many citations for employers annually. Notice that one or more PPE-related citations is in all four of the top ten lists.
Employers must conduct a hazard assessment, provide and require use of appropriate PPE for their employees. NCDOL offers free sample
safety and health programs—including a job hazard analysis program that is available for review and download at
www.nclabor.com/osha/consult/sample_programs.htm
Aren’t all hard hats the same?
No. You must wear the right hat for the job. All hard hats approved for electrical work made since 1997 are
marked “Class E.” Hard hats made before 1997 are marked “Class B.” These markings will be on a label
inside the helmet or stamped into the helmet itself. Newer hats may also be marked “Type 1” or “Type 2.”
Type 1 hard hats protect you from impacts on the top of your head. Type 2 hard hats protect you from
impacts on the top and sides of your head.
Classes of Hard Hats
Class G (formerly Class A)
v General service (e.g., mining, building construction, shipbuilding,
lumbering and manufacturing).
v Good impact protection but limited voltage protection.
Class E (formerly Class B)
v Electrical work.
v Protects against falling objects and high-voltage shock and burns.
Class C
v Designed for comfort; offers limited protection.
v Protects heads that may bump against fixed objects, but does not protect against falling objects or
electrical shock.
TOP TEN OSH VIOLATIONS

Cherie Berry
Commissioner of Labor
OSH Division Administration and Enforcement
In North Carolina, NCDOL inspectors enforce the fed-eral
Occupational Safety and Health Act through a state
plan approved by the U.S. Department of Labor. The
Occupational Safety and Health Division of the N.C.
Department of Labor offers many educational programs
to the public and produces publications, including this
guide, to help inform people about their rights and
responsibilities regarding occupational safety and health.
When looking through this brochure, please remem-ber
the mission of the N.C. Department of Labor is
greater than just to enforce regulations. An equally
important goal is to help people find ways to create safe
workplaces. This brochure, like the many other educa-tional
materials produced by this department, can help.
Reading and using this information will aid you in
developing a safety and health program that saves lives.
Compliance assists employers in improving their work-place
safety and health programs to eliminate on-the-job
injuries and illnesses through enforcement activity.
Consultative Services provides free on-site consulta-tion
regarding both safety and health issues. Services are
provided to employers of limited size and to employers
within high-hazard industries, assisting them to reach
their goal of achieving a safe and healthful workplace
for their employees.
Education, Training and Technical Assistance (ETTA)
offers educational materials, arranges conferences and
provides professional training for OSH staff members
and for the public. In addition, ETTA administers the
adoption of federal standards and develops North
Carolina-specific standards, responds to requests for
technical assistance and interpretations, and publishes a
wide variety of industry guides, safety and health stan-dards
books for general industry and construction, and
other documents of interest to the public. ETTA also
administers recognition programs that recognize compa-nies
that have exemplary safety and health programs and
safety records. The NCDOL library falls under the
administration of the bureau.
